The Open Question Jun 24: What makes humans unique & valuable?
Hey y'all! This week Oracle said in its official SEC filing it replaced 21,000 jobs with AI. And last month Pope Leo XIV delivered his first encyclical arguing that the real danger of is that we start treating people, including ourselves, as products to be optimized and... - annabeth...
I Don't Have To
I’ve had an intellectual understanding that I don’t have to do things, but I’ve recently realized that it was tethered to old beliefs. "I don’t have to visit my grandmother if I’m willing to be a bad granddaughter/bad person." or "I don’t have to buy my friend a birthday present... Came across this James Baldwin clip on my Facebook feed. He said: “Love has never been a popular movement. And no one's ever wanted, really, to be free. The world is held together, really it is held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people.... - Gypsy Fulton...
Modern test
What if the modern test of faith isn’t how fiercely we defend what we believe, but how gently we treat those who see the world differently? In an era that rewards constant division, choosing empathy might just be the most sacred act left..what say you ?... Read the full post - Benzi...
That John C. Reilly clip felt too clean
I've been seeing this interview with John C Reilly going viral and was touched by it myself. Fuck yea, empathy matters so much! Let's love and care for our fellow man.... Open Question Sept 30: Can you vote for someone you don't trust?
Hey y'all, In Texas this week, one Senate candidate walked out of a press conference when reporters asked about his property and voter fraud allegations. The other was heckled over his theology and his past statements on prison. The polls are tied.... Because "projection makes perception" and its all a dream, being ethical is an act of self-love
When thinking about everything being a dream, it's hard to see where ethics fits. If you know it's a Star Wars video game, why not play-to-win as the dark side? <-- You are separate from the video game, so this question makes sense.... When a factory or plant shuts down, what do the workers there owe each other that the company never could?
A sudden plant closure triggers a form of grief. Some people get angry; others get quiet; some check out entirely. Because they have spent years working side-by-side, workers owe each other the grace to process that panic without judgment.... - DrV...
When we hide things, they become secrets. Secrets seduce our integrity.

Life's Bank and Trust.
The most valuable thing that we as humanity hold, is the innocence in that of a child's smile, and we have an obligation to preserve it.

Trust Is Earned. Integrity Is Revealed.
We live in a world where everyone wants to be trusted, but fewer people seem willing to do the work that makes them trustworthy. We talk about honesty, accountability, ethics, and integrity, yet we live in a time when people can lie to your face, manipulate the truth, break... sure, but what about people being manipulated to choose life, which is currently what happens?

Absolutely it is ethical. In fact, I’d argue that voting when one knows they are actually voting against another candidate is the less ethical behavior.... Open Question July 22: What's worth fighting to keep, and what should we let go?
Hey y'all, Wars, trillionaires, and AI everything... we're all wrestling with wild change, making decisions to try to hold on, let go, or something else. So this week: What's worth fighting to keep, and what should we let go? Privacy. Reading. Offices. Cash.... - Tom Van Wyen...
I Believe
I believe that we are put on this earth to improve it, and the humans inhabiting it, starting with ourselves. I believe we all need to be taught certain truths about the human condition before we begin our journey of self discovery and improvement.... do you ever pick up other people's trash in parks? what other tiny acts of goodness do you do?
I do sometimes. I figure there have been times stuff flew out of my bag unnoticed, so I'm not even sure it's a community service, but rather just trying to balance my impact.
🎧 If first responders live in the city, pay taxes, and vote, shouldn’t candidates be allowed to ask them about response times and staffing without risking $20,000 fines?...
